PT4 HUD / Customization of stats

[Omar Hawk]

Lots of the PT4 stats can be customized with respect to a certain position. However, I often need these values averaged over 2 ( e.g. BB and SB // BU and CO) or even more positions. Can anybody tell me, how this can be accomplished?
A typical example of what I would like to construct: "Fold to PF 3Bet After Steal" should give the value for BU and(!) CO.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Unfortunately the only way to do that is to create custom statistics - the position option doesn't allow you to add multiple positions together.

To create the custom columns you are describing you'd want to go to the Configure --> Statistics window, make sure you have cash or tournament selected and go to the Player stat type. Pick the stat you want and look at the column names in the Value Expression on the Definition page - for Fold to PF 3Bet After Steal there are two columns:

cnt_steal_3bet_def_action_fold
and
cnt_steal_3bet_def_opp

Now go to the Columns page (at the top right) and locate the first of those columns (the search box is your friend here!). Click on it and click the Duplicate button.

Now here is where we add some extra detail to get the column exactly as you want it. Generic columns are built for all positions unless specified - now we want to specify. Give the new column the name you'd like and, after the [ in sum(if[... add the following:
(cash_hand_player_statistics.position = 0 OR cash_hand_player_statistics.position = 1) AND

So the result looks like this:

sum(if[(cash_hand_player_statistics.position = 0 OR cash_hand_player_statistics.position = 1) AND cash_hand_player_statistics.flg_steal_att AND cash_hand_player_statistics.flg_p_3bet_def_opp AND cash_hand_player_statistics.enum_p_3bet_action='F', 1, 0])

Then save the new column.

Position 0 is always the button, 1 is the cutoff and so on counterclockwise. The only exceptions are the small blind (which is always 9) and the big blind (which is always 8).

Do the same for the opportunity column, then duplicate the stat on the Stats page and change the name and value expression to use your new columns. You can change the description and title however you feel best - either way once that's done and the stat is saved you can begin using your new stat in your HUD.

Wow - that's quite tricky. However, your description is perfect and I have created the new stat succesfully. Thank you very much! I will now try to transfer this method to other stats according to your description.
Anyway, I think that this is a good point for further improvement to PT4. If the position option would allow me to add multiple positions together (e.g. by pressing the SHIFT button and then picking the positions I want with the mouse) the customization of the HUD would be far easier.

I'll make a note of that suggestion and bring it up with the development team at the appropriate time on your behalf.
